Kyrgyz Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev has been hospitalised at an elite military hospital here after he was poisoned by an unknown substance last month, Turkish and Kyrgyz officials said Thursday. “He has to undergo medical check-ups after his being poisoned in his office in May,” Roza Daudova, a spokeswoman for the Kyrgyz government, told AFP. “He feels well,” she said. “He will be back at work at the beginning of next week.” | Wouldn't be saying that about iocaine powder. |
An aide to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: “I believe he has some stomach problems, but he is well.” GATA declined to comment. Erdogan visited Atambayev in hospital late Wednesday. An official Kyrgyz medical report said last month that Atambayev was poisoned with “toxins of unknown origin” on May 11. Atambayev said he was poisoned in his workplace. “Somebody gave me a glass of water which I drank. I was unconscious for two days. There’s no doubt it was an attempt at poisoning,” he said.
